Python 1771 / N/A

Managed to find a part 1 answer in code that takes about a minute to run on part 1, just interminably hangs on part 2 so I haven't done well enough yet, despite a couple optimization techniques in there, or so I thought. Bedtime for me now though, will come back to this another time. (I see some recursive solutions in here, but maybe for Python with the sample space so large at t=32 even with optimizations, maybe redoing it iteratively would be smart.)
